Given that only 17% of UK employees are fully engaged, 83% have a greater contribution to make if we could enhance their levels of engagement (Gallup 2011 to 12). In 50 Top Tools for Employee Engagement, Debbie Mitchell offers clear advice on how to do just this. Every manager with responsibility for leading people should have this book on their shelf.

This book is packed with practical action items and clear insights. It's an excellent and handy resource, has simple diagnostic tools and great examples... I'd recommend it to any HR or line manager....One size definitely doesn't fit all in engagement. So when you need a bit of help, lift this book up and pick a tool that will help you close that important gap to motivate and engage your team.

This book offers an abundance of practical tips and tools to help engage your workforce at different stages and through different activities. There's something in here for everyone, no matter your business or your challenge, just open the toolkit and starting building a more engaged workforce.
